Flat, 97 Mutley Plain

Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This terraced maisonette is located in PLYMOUTH, PL4 6JJ. The property offers 178.31m² (1919 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (18/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (40/100). The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £2956, comprising £2463 for heating, £357 for hot water, and £136 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. IMPORTANT FOR LANDLORDS: With an EPC rating of G, this property does not meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). Since April 2020, landlords cannot legally let properties rated F or G without registering a valid exemption. Penalties for non-compliance can reach up to £30,000. Immediate improvements are required to bring the property to at least an E rating.
